    It is shown that recent results from the Super-Kamiokande detector constrain the tau neutrino diagonal magnetic moment to μντ<1.2×107μB\mu_{\nu_{\tau}} < 1.2\times 10^{-7} \mu_{B} for the case of νμντ\nu_{\mu}\to \nu_{\tau} interpretation of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly.

    The SM extensions with additional light scalar singlet, nonrenor-malizable Yukawa interactions and (g − 2)μ

    No full text
    We consider the SM extension with additional light real singlet scalar, right-handed neutrino and nonrenormalizable Yukawa interaction for the first two generations. We show that the proposed model can explain the observed (g – 2) muon anomaly. Phenomenological consequenses as flavour violating decays τ → μμμ, μμe, μee are briefly discussed. We also propose the UR(1) gauge generalization of the SM with complex scalar singlet and nonzero right-handed charges for the first two generations

    Limits on the magnetic moment of sterile neutrino and two-photon neutrino decay

    It is shown that the non-zero transition magnetic moment (μtran\mu_{tran}) between the sterile neutrino (νs\nu_{s}) and the muon neutrino (νμ\nu_{\mu}) could be effectively searched for via the Primakoff effect, in the process of nucleus ZZ, with the subsequent νsνμ+γ\nu_{s}\to \nu_{\mu} + \gamma decay. From the recent results of the NOMAD neutrino detector at CERN a model-independent constraint of μtran2×1013sec/mν7(MeV)\mu_{tran} 2\times10^{13} sec/m_{\nu}^{7}(MeV) is obtained. The limit is valid for neutrino masses up to mνO(1)GeVm_{\nu}\sim O(1)GeV.It is shown that the non-zero transition magnetic moment (μtran\mu_{tran}) between the sterile neutrino (νs\nu_{s}) and the muon neutrino (νμ\nu_{\mu}) could be effectively searched for via the Primakoff effect, in the process of νμZνsZ\nu_{\mu} Z \to \nu_{s}Z conversion in the external Coulomb field of a nucleus ZZ, with the subsequent νsνμ+γ\nu_{s}\to \nu_{\mu} + \gamma decay.

    τ\tau neutrino magnetic moments from the Super-Kamiokande and ν\nu e-scattering data

    No full text
    Combined results on νμντ\nu_{\mu}\to \nu_{\tau} oscillations and νe\nu e-scattering from the Super-Kamiokande and LAMPF experiments, respectively, limit the Dirac ντ\nu_{\tau} diagonal magnetic moment to μντ<1.9×109μB\mu_{\nu_{\tau}} < 1.9\times 10^{-9} \mu_{B}.\ For the scheme with 3 Majorana neutrinos the LAMPF results allow the limitation of effective ντ\nu_{\tau} magnetic moment to μντ<7.6×1010μB\mu_{\nu_{\tau}} < 7.6 \times 10^{-10}\mu_{B}.\ The moments in the scheme with additional Majorana light sterile neutrinos as well as experiments on stimulated radiative neutrino conversion are also discussed

    Can the mirror world explain the ortho-positronium lifetime puzzle?

    We suggest that the discrepant lifetime measurements of ortho-positronium can be explained by ortho-positronium oscillations into mirror ortho-positronium. This explanation can be tested in future vacuum experiments.We suggest that the discrepant lifetime measurements of ortho-positronium can be explained by ortho-positronium oscillations into mirror ortho-positronium.

    Leptonic scalar portal: Origin of muon g2g-2 anomaly and dark matter?

    No full text
    We present a model explaining both the 4.2 σ\sigma muon g2g-2 anomaly and the relic density of dark matter (DM) in which DM interacts with the Standard Model (SM) via a scalar portal boson φ\varphi carrying both dark and SM leptonic numbers, and mediating a nondiagonal interaction between the electron and muon that allows eμe \leftrightarrow \mu transitions. The φ\varphi could be produced in high-energy electron scattering off a target nuclei in the reaction eZμZφe Z \to \mu Z\varphi followed by the prompt invisible decay φ \varphi~\to~DM particles and searched for in events with large missing energy accompanied by a single outgoing muon in the final state. Interestingly, several events with a similar signature have been observed in a data sample of 3×1011\simeq 3\times 10^{11} electrons on target collected during 2016-2018 for the search for light dark matter in the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS [PRL {\bf 123}, 121801 (2019)]. Attributing so far these events to background allows us to set first constraints on the φ\varphi mass and couplings while leaving at the same time decisively probing the origin of these events and a large fraction of the remaining parameter space to a near exiting future with the upgraded NA64 detector or other planned experiments.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures.
